Bling Sparklers

"We give fashion and style a new sparkle, a new meaning. We are the sparkling trio!"

I love it when I am invited to a wedding, especially if it’s a wedding of my colleague's or a friend’s . (Guess there’s a lot of drama involved in a wedding at a relative’s :P) Every time You have been invited to a wedding the first thing to pop up in your mind is not what to you are going to gift the bride and the groom but its what you are going to wear to the wedding as a guest ! It is important to choose the right dress and the right set of accessories to go with the outfit you have chosen to wear .
Surely , you want to look your best and would opt to wear something that reflects your personal style. You might have a wardrobe full of clothes appropriate for a wedding wear and drawers overfilled with accessories to go with them, which in turn leads to a state of confusion as to what to wear and what not to wear. Too much of choice makes one crazy.

You have the invitation card. lets say you even have climbed the toughest mountain on choosing the dress. What’s next? The right accessories. We, Bling Sparklers present to you some fun, striking and glamorous additions to the perfect wedding guest ensemble. Hence here’s a guide for all of you as to what kind of jewellery to wear to a wedding as a guest. I’ll be dividing each of them in parts , for today we will be discussing what kind of rings one can wear to a wedding!
1. Double knuckle linked two finger rings: These rings are a new trending piece of jewellery every woman should own. They add sparkle when worn with the simplest of simple attire. At a wedding you’ll have a lot of competition and you don’t want to be left behind when it comes to donning the best trending jewelry.

2. Statement rings: If the dress you have chosen has a lot of sequins or is a lehenga or a ghagra or a heavy floor length anarkali then we suggest you go easy on the accessories and wear a single ring which is simple yet distinct! That’s when you should opt for the statement ring.
3. Designer rings: Colorful and heavy – this rings have their own speech of expression! They speak for themselves.. one simply cannot have just one look at them, hey are so pretty you want to look at them again and again. That is exactly what happened with me at a wedding when I spotted a girl wearing s beautiful designer ring, I couldn’t get my eyes off it!
4. Two or Three Or Four Finger rings: As you might have noticed on red carpets, fashion runways, and every jewelry retailer, fashionable two-three finger rings have become a huge hit in the world of women’s fashion. Thus, it is no surprise that this trend spilled over as the best form attention seeking jewelry to be worn at a wedding!
5. Gold Rings : Whether it's 24 karat, 18 karat, or hall marked gold, Indian weddings are all about this precious metal! Gold jewelry has a precious place in our weddings. It’s a symbol of good fortune and gorgeous gold rings get you all the attention in no time ! Opting for gold rings with a traditional saree or floor length anarkali or best banarsi sari!
6. Ethnic Huge Rings: Gold plated huge ethnic rings which are often round on the top . It could either be a huge kundan ring or a huge pearl ring with glitter and beads. Just one of these on your finger and you are ready to rock the outfit! the best thing about them is that they come in hundreds of designs and look oh so pretty on your finger, just remember to go easy on hand jewelry when you don one of these.
7. Distinct Rings : Jewelry enthusiasts often keep an eye on the latest trend being released in the jewelry arena and are on a lookout for something new and unique which not everybody are seen sporting. These types of rings are not easily available and need some searching before you get your hands on it. Distinct rings can be one finger nail ring or double pearl ring or even midi rings!
My final word would be rings are the thing which are trending high on the wedding must wears list but once you have worn a ring don’t forget to wear something more important than the ring…which wear a smile ;)
Until next time
Love

Mehendi art is a bridal must and all of us want the best for our wedding, be it our wedding lehenga or a simple Henna Mehendi design on hands.

Your fingers get the most attention, be it any occasion as they are always exposed so it's important to dress them right. The Mehendi designs which come in books are quite pretty but I have observed that the finger designs are always the boring and same. So I got myself searching for new and unique finger Mehendi designs which will give your fingers that extra drama.Also read Ten distinct Mehendi Designs to try this Eid

I found that there are unlimited choices for finger Mehendi art in the internet. I have done all the hunting down for you and chosen the ten very best designs. You can pair these designs with suitable palm designs to dress your hands in the best way possible.

Have a look:

1

This ring style mehendi design is very chic and suitable for ethnic outfits with a western blend. There's so much volume in this design that there's no need for applying mehendi on the back of tyour hand. Just this finger design will give a statement look.

2

Another ring design. This one is more on the ethnic side which speaks elegance. My first thought on seeing this design was 'Sabyasachi'! This design will look fab if you will be wearing a gota patti lehenga on your wedding/special occasion.

3

Another pretty design which will beautify your fingers. This design will look best when paired with a single signature cocktail ring.

4

Another WOW design! This is an Arabic design which is quite different and unique from all the designs listed here. This will go great with both western and ethnic outfits.

5

This design is on the thicker side which will stay longer on your fingers and look gorgeous with ethnic outfits.

6

This design is very simple yet very beautiful. Love the leaves and simple lines at the tips! This design is best if you are wearing a lot of rings!

7

This is one design which truly steals the show! I have tried this and it is not at all as hard as it looks. Brides who are not too found of applying Mehendi or those who want a really signature look can opt for this design. Ensure that you don't apply Mehendi anywhere else(palm or down) This will surely give you a show stopper look.

8

This simple design is elegant in its own way. Opt for this if you are skipping applying Mehendi on the backside or if you want to draw eyes to your nail art! :D

9

This is my another favourite! The intricate ring art on just one finger is what makes this design stand out. It'll give your fingers a royal look. LOVE IT! ^_^

10

This design is perfect for starters as it is quite easy and looks quite elegant too! :)

So these are the best Finger Mehendi henna designs which will make a statement. 1,2,7 and 9 are my personal favorites. What about you? Do share!

Pantone the colour company announces the “Color of the Year” every year. For the Year 2015 it was deep earthy Red Marsala and this year for the first time Pantone chose not one but two shades i.e Rose Quartz & Serenity .

Pantone colours of the year2016

Rose Quartz is baby pink and Serenity is kind of icy powder blue with a hint of liliac or you can just say baby blue. Pantone is of the opinion that when Joined together these two shades Rose Quartz and Serenity demonstrate an inherent balance between a warmer embracing rose tone and the cooler tranquil blue, reflecting connection and wellness as well as a soothing sense of order and peace.

Pastels are my all time favorites and both these colours Rose Quartz & Serenity have a pastel vibe to them which has me excited. These colours are already very popular with designers like Jyotsna tiwari, Tarun tahiliani, Anushree Reddy and Shantanu and Nikhil in 2015 fashion weeks and if you are wondering how to wear this colour duo then well the new bollywood ki Bahurani Mira Rajput shows you the way .

Mira wore pale pink aka Rose quartz Anamika Khanna lehenga on her wedding day and carried it off with amazing grace . Her dazzling smile , navratna haar and right amount of bling in the outfit made this look a classy Bridal winner. When wearing pale colours like serinity or rose quartz make sure you add right amount of bling and colour to make it wedding appropriate.

Quirky Designer Masaba tied knot to producer Madhu mantena and the reception was grand affair with many bollywood celebrities in attendance. Masabas complete wedding looks and style have already been discussed about on our blog here and in this post we will focus on what the guests wore.

I did not connect much with Masaba Guptas wedding style as I found it too contemporary and futuristic but the guests attending her reception balanced things out well turning up in the ethnic best outfits. The outfits worn by bollywood guests were tradition with a touch of modernity which is what i expected Masaba to try. But anyway what is done is done and Iam no one to dictate to Masaba as to what she should wear on her important day so here i bring to you details on what the guests wore so you can inspire yourself for the upcoming wedding season.

Dia Mirza:

Let me start off with Dia Mirza who was a picture of elegance in bright and festive Sabyasachi Sharara. Such a bright red colour would make you give competition to the bride but Dia styled it right by adding muted gold jewels and subtle make up to keep things simple . I so wish Masaba had opted for something similar for her special day instead of awkwardly placed tissue bits!

Kangana Ranaut showed just how exactly to rock the angelic white colour at indian weddings. She wore a white Abu Jaini sandeep khosla lace saree paired with silver clutch and added colour to the look with red lips and red louboutins. The retro hair and the blouse added to her elegant look . Super Love .

Alia Bhat also wore a white Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla for the reception, but hers was a sharara with a touch of pink. Alia kept things simple by accessorizing her look with just a pair of earrings. The outfit was good but I felt it had fit issues and make Alia look a bit mature and aged. .

Mira Rajput looked amazingly gorgeous in her sheer Arpita Mehta saree. The colour looked great on Mira and she finished out the look with a necklace, earrings and gold clutch. The best thing about this look was the make up, Mira looked so natural and confident and made a perfect pair with Shahid kapoor . Love .

Sonam Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor attended the wedding reception together and decided to color co -ordinate their outfits. They both wore Anamika Khanna cream outfits in contemporary silhouettes. Rhea wore floor length cape over dhoti pants and top while Sonam wore a draped top with lehenga . I like that this duo try different things and experiment but here it did not work also the make up let them down. Love both the neck pieces though.

Aditi Rao Hydari wore black surendri shahrara which featured parrot prints. Gold earrings, a modernized version of hath phool and red lips completed her look. I dont have anything against wearing black to a wedding but i personally would never wear it myself. What are your thoughts on wearing black to Indian weddings?

Athiya Shetty opted for a Rohit Bal lehenga , but what made the look different was her peplum top . She also skipped the dupatta and added a potli and earrings to the look while the hair was half pinned. The look was interesting but the peplum top made Athiya look a little pregnant, I think pregnant women should try out this style to mask their tummy bumps .

Sophie Choudary went the traditional route in this Anita dongre lehenga which she paired with big earrings and gajra in hair. (PS : this was for the sangeet )

There are some Bridal Lehengas which make one swoon, others which make us want to jump in joy but today we are sharing something with you all which simply took our breath away! Nargiz Fakhri gave us some superb inspiration for best bridal lehenga wear by donning this piece of pure awesomeness.

At Bling Sparkle, we can never get enough of pink, especially when it's such a stunning creation by Manish Malhotra. Everything from the way Nargiz Fakhri carries this Anarkali lehenga to the heavily embellished details on it is stunning. We want.

Best Bridal Lehenga Inspiration this is!

Nargiz made a fashion statement at the TOIFA, Times Of India Film Awards, wearing this gorgeous Pink and peach, heavily embellished lehenga. It is a perfect for the wedding or reception. Nargiz has been perfectly styled with hair tied up in a side bun and minimal accessories, giving all the attention only towards the outfit. The makeup with heavy eyes and soft lips with a hint of bronzer is perfect too.

Me thinks it's a million dollar look specially designed to steal the show. What do you say?
